DACIA LOGAN2017 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2017 Dacia Logan with 181,015 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2026-03-16 at 181,015 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Previous tests in 2025 show mixed outcomes, including a failure on 2025-10-27 at 177,908 miles and a pass on 2025-10-28 at 177,967 miles, though neither listed specific defects. The lack of recurring mechanical issues in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. However, the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass within 24 hours raises questions about the consistency of the testing process or potential remedial actions taken. The vehicle’s mileage of 181,015 miles over nine years equates to an average of 20,113 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. This rapid accumulation implies frequent use, increasing wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The MOT history shows minimal gaps, with tests spaced no more than six months apart, indicating regular compliance. However, the absence of defect records in all tests, despite the high mileage, suggests either meticulous maintenance or incomplete data capture. The 2025-04-02 tests—both a pass and failure on the same day at identical mileage—require further clarification but do not directly impact the current roadworthiness assessment. A prospective buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in vehicles with extensive use. The absence of structural rust or body corrosion in the MOT records is positive, but a physical examination of the undercarriage is recommended. Additionally, verifying the history of the 2025-10-27 failure and its resolution would provide clarity on any unresolved mechanical concerns. Overall, the vehicle meets legal standards but requires scrutiny of wear-prone systems due to its usage pattern.
